The Telangana Assigned Lands (Prohibition of Transfers) Act, 1977

General197714 sections

This law regulates government assigned lands in Telangana by strictly prohibiting their transfer through sales, gifts, leases, or mortgages. It applies directly to landless poor beneficiaries who received these lands for farming or housing, and to anyone attempting to purchase them. The legislation matters because it protects impoverished families from exploitation, ensuring they retain their primary source of livelihood and shelter. Under this Act, unauthorized transfers are declared completely null and void, allowing state authorities to evict illegal occupants. The government then restores the reclaimed land to the original poor assignees, or redistributes it to other eligible landless poor families.
